Lt. Melvill: Well done, Sir! Did you see that Noggs? Deceived him with the up and took him with the down. Norris-Newman: Well well, this one\'s a grandfather at least. If he\'d been a Zulu in his prime I\'d have given odds against your lancer, Mr.Melvill.

Captain, Louis George Jullien, Raaff's Rangers.

In 1881 Louis George Jullien applied to the Colonial Government for Military employment. In his application he stated that he had 10 years experience on the veldt and was known to Wolesley and also stated he's served as a former Adjutant in the French Army and was a Captain in a Cavalry Regiment with Garibaldi.

I know that during the AZW he was away recruiting in Griqualand West and the Transvaal. He was later in Willoughby's Horse during the Gun War.

My question is, does anyone have any earlier biographical information on him?

He could be Frank, I've looked through ancestry.com and there's a few possibilities, but nothing that positively link him to Africa. There are some records in the Pretoria archives that may bring me closer to pinning down a date and place of birth.
